Christina Wakefield's wild, daring spirit cannot resist the call of the Arabian desert. But once there, destiny makes her the prisoner of Sheik Abu-the arrogant, eniGmatic, almost demonically handsome adventurer whom she had known in England as Philip Caxton. Having already rejected Philip's fervent offer of marriage, Christina is now to be his slave. And though she is desperate to regain the freedoms the breathtaking rogue denies her, she fears the treachery of her own heart and the power of her desire that is impelling her to fully and willingly submit to her virile captor's most sensuous needs.
